Jay-Z is known for having a stake in a luxury champagne brand, and for partially owning the Cognac D’Ussé. The rapper launched this cognac in 2012 with Bacardi. A spirit that does not doubt its quality. Jay-Z recently launched a version of D’Ussé to celebrate his 50th birthday. A cognac of Grand Champagne.
